Delta Airlines officials told staff in a memo the company would impose a $200 monthly surcharge on employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19. The memo also said Delta, the nation’s third-largest airline, would only cover sick pay for COVID-related absences for those who have been vaccinated but still get infected, according to BBC News.
